Mass Effect Movie Hits Comic-Con

Legendary Films' first-ever Comic-Con panel will feature Mass Effect: The Movie and Guillermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim.

According to Legendary's press release, Game creator Casey Hudson and the adaptation's screenwriter, Mark Protosevich, will be on hand Friday, July 22, for a panel providing our first glimpse at the highly-anticipated movie based on the popular game.

Guillermo Del Toro will be on hand to tout his monsters-vs.-robots movie Pacific Rim, along with actors Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Charlie Day, and Rinko Kikuchi. Writer Travis Beacham will also be on hand.

Nerds rejoice! Mass Effect: The Movie is coming to Comic-Con.
Legendary's panel will also feature the thriller Seventh Son, with star Jeff Bridges and director Sergei Bodrov in attendance. Bradley Cooper and Dark City helmer Alex Proyas will bring news from their new movie, an action-packed adaptation of Paradise Lost.

Will Legendary surprise SDCC guests with presentations from Man of Steel and/or Dark Knight Rises? Legendary is a producing partner with WB on both tentpole projects, and their presence at the Con gives us some hope that Superman and Batman's next films may cameo. 

The LA Times' Geoff Boucher will moderate the panel. No word yet on time and room location, but IGN will let you know when we hear anything!
